Fine Food & “Free” Postcards

When I went to try a well-hyped Thai restaurant in San Francisco this week, I didn’t just end up with a full belly & an empty wallet–I ended up with postcards! Imagine my surprise when I looked up from my seat to see this wall decor:

Needless to say, I was impressed & excited. I never, ever see free postcard racks anymore–and these are really cool. I asked the server whether the cards were for purchase. Nope, free. Let’s call it not free, but “free,” as a rather modest meal for two ran us around $75. What can I say–even in the SF Bay Area, good & authentic Thai food is as hard to find as a horcrux. Harder, even.

Restraining myself, and knowing that in mailing these out I will actually be doing the restaurant the service they intended, I took a mere nine: just two or three each of these, the four cards I liked.
